tony tt Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Sounds like the battery is pumped. You got a volt meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Is it turning over? Might be ignitor related due to pulling the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm not sure on your setup but maybe fuel pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yes it's turning over Scott. What issues would pulling the battery have caused with te ignitor!? - - - Updated - - - No volt meter unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm not sure on your setup but maybe fuel pump? It's all stock mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It's all stock mate. Something alarm related, imobilizer? I'm not to sure to be honest, can't be anything serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 There is a volt meter on the turbo timer reading 12.2V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 can you hear the fuel pump prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Not sure tbh mate:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Not sure tbh mate:( Turn everything off, give it 20 minutes or so to let the pressure drop. After that, make sure the radio etc is off and then turn the key to ignition on (pre-starter). You will hear whirring coming from the boot, this is the pump priming. If that's OK then you have fuel, if it's not then either the relay has gone or the alarm is triggering the immobiliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 No whine from the boot. Must be an immobiliser issue!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 With my alarm I had to connect/disconnect the battery with the key switched to "on" otherwise it caused all kinds of problems. That was aftermarket though but worth a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 No whine from the boot. Must be an immobiliser issue!? if you have no whine, then fuel pumped aint sending fuel. Could be a simple fuse, locate the fuel pump fuel, sure its on the engine bay, look at the diagram, them replace it. see if it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Put in the immobiliser code manually and still couldn't hear the fuel pump, turned it over then heard the pump whine a bit...so cranked it again and it started. Lumpy at first and the idle was low so a gentle rev to get more fuel and it seems to be ok ATM. Going to let it run a bit before turning it off. Fingers crossed it starts again.

mattdavies Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Could be the main 120amp fuse ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ahhh… Sounds like the alarm has shat itself. Is it a clifford? I had one die on me randomly in McDonalds car park before and I didn't know the manual code. Luckily I had some basic tools so I ended up lying upside-down in the rain cutting it out with pliers.. Aaarggh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 It's a Cobra Cat 1 fitted at JM when the car landed in the UK. Fingers crossed that's it sorted. If not I'll reset it and input a new pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
